Meghan has apparently worked herself into quite an outrage over King Charles III and his refusal to take her phone calls. According to reports, she has been repeatedly trying to contact the King directly to discuss various grievances she seems to have with how her life has unfolded since leaving the royal family with Prince Harry.
However, Charles is being very sensible in declining these calls. Nothing productive would come from engaging with Meghan directly, as any private conversation the two had would inevitably be leaked within minutes through Meghan's PR team or friends. The King knows well enough by now that Meghan does not respect boundaries or confidentiality, so the only way to have any privacy is to not take her calls at all.

Beyond that, it's unclear what Meghan thinks she could achieve by haranguing the King over the phone. She apparently feels he has somehow "stolen" or "scoffled" an idea of hers, though the specifics are vague. It seems she wanted him to publicly endorse a jam product she had launched, which is an absurd request. The only endorsement monarchists provide is through the royal warrant system, which requires a longstanding supply relationship with the royal households. Meghan is still very new to the business world and doesn't understand how these things work.
Her anger may also stem from feeling that King Charles is somehow sabotaging the sales of her homemade jam by continuing to produce and sell his own existing lines of jam and honey from his Highgrove estate. This is a completely fanciful notion. The King's products are successful based on their own merits after years of production, not because Meghan decided to enter the same market. Her version launched recently and performed respectably given the free publicity, but Highgrove's sales are based on an established brand and customer loyalty, not any supposed sabotage.

Meghan also seems irritated that the royal family continues to extend open invitations to her and Harry, such as for visits to Balmoral, but that they remain estranged. She wants to blame this on others instead of considering her own past behavior that contributed to the rift. Likewise, she resents the critical press coverage she receives, but does little self-reflection on why her efforts to constantly curry PRfavor through puff pieces may backfire.
At this point, King Charles and the other senior royals are wise to completely block Meghan's phone access. She has proven herself time and again to be an unreliable and antagonistic presence who manipulates any interactions for her own benefit through selective leaking or twisting of events. Even Harry, whom she clearly sees as her mouthpiece, likely has limited ability to interface with his family privately anymore due to Meghan's influence.

The idea that the King of England should give any mind to placating an American former royal with a tiny, unestablished jam company is patently absurd. Charles has real responsibilities and priorities that do not include humoring Meghan's petulant demands. She seems to think if she can just get the King on the phone one-on-one, her charm and persuasiveness will work wonders. However, that ship has long since sailed and she now has zero influence or credibility within the royal circle.

Meghan needs to accept that she is no longer a beloved member of the family, and she has lost any right to make demands of senior working royals. Throwing a tantrum and obsessively redialing the King's private number will change nothing. She would be much better off quietly focusing her efforts into legitimate career pursuits rather than continually stoking drama. But based on her repeated actions, she does not seem capable of letting go of past grievances or resentments. Both she and Harry now exist on the fringes of the royal family by their own doing, and further calls will continue to go unanswered. Perhaps it's finally time for Meghan to accept she has been told "no" for good reason, and to stop shouting un productively into the wind.
